Perhaps no man in public life in the
United States ever had 50 strong per-
sonal following as Henry Clay. His
friends were everywhere, and they were
so numerous that he himself never knew
them half by name. When the mill
Boy of the Slashes" was the candidate
of the Wing for the Presidency, it be-

his bank account at the Maysville Bank
for considerable sum. One day three
gentlemen. strangers to President Scott

and asked Mr.. Scott howmuch CLAY had
overdrawn. He replied tersely that
that was none of their business, and
that his bank was not in the habit of

its customers. The visitors said they
had come to make the account good
and that they had asked the question
that they might know how much would
be required of them. That placed a
different phase on the situation, and

account was overdrawn to an amount

tried to find out who they were, but
was unsuccessful, and up to the day Of

know who were the riders who carried
$4,000 in their saddlebags to save the
name of Henry Clay, but no one has
yet been able to enlighten him. Bdlti-

WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. 1S-The remains
Of Gen Hazan were on Monday taken from
1897 F street, where he has lived in apart
ments since the departure of Mrs. Hazen for
Europe, TO the residence of Mr.. Washington
Mclean on Lafayette square. Here they lie
in a cloth-covered casket dressed in his full
army uniform. A cablegram has been re-
ceived from Mrs Hazen asking for full par
ticulars concerning her husbands death, and
TO ask advice about returning to this coun-
try.
Gen. Hazen will be buried with military
honors on Wednesday, at II o'clock, from
St Johns church. His remains will be tenn
porarily inferred at Oak Hill or Rock Creek
cemetery. The final interment will be made

Paymaster Gen. Rochester, Quartermaster
Gen. Holabird, Gen. Duane, chief of EN-
gineers, and Surgeon General Moore. Gen.
Sheridan has charge of the military arrange
ments for the funeral
Inc siSnal oHice was afapeu III mourning
Monday in memory of the dead general. His
death was surprise to many in the bureau,
many of whom had not heard of his serious
illness on Saturday or Sunday, and first
learned of hi. death in the morning journals
Monday or were apprised of it when they re-
ported for duty.
The question of successorshIp to Gen. Hazen
is already discussed, and Capt. Greedy is re-
garded by many as the officer most likely to
be placed at the head of the bureau, and it
is probable that the bureau will be taken out
of military control and made branch of the
civil service
